A patch of green space by the waterfront in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is home to Ireland Park, a tribute to the Irish immigrants who left the Emerald Isle in 1847 and arrived in Toronto that summer. Ireland’s President, Mary McAleese, opened the park on June 21, 2007.
The History Behind Ireland Park
The Hon. William H. Boulton, Toronto’s mayor in 1847, had been aware of the immigration to come. City council formed a Board of Public Health early in the year, and Dominic J. Daly, the provincial secretary, instructed Boulton to build sheds and hospitals for the immigrants, with a vow to reimburse him from the province’s coffers.
Alderman George Gurnett took the helm of the Toronto Board of Health, and with his associates co-ordinated the relief efforts, which included medical care, the building and provisioning of “emigrant sheds,” and the processing of migrants as they arrived at Reese’s Wharf.
